Controversial lyrics

[dondoboy]

John Lennon

 

Woman is the nigger of the world

Yes she is...think about it

 

And Louie, Louie.

[Winston Legthigh]

Beat me to it.

Head first this time, JUMP RIGHT IN!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cryptique]

That one by Judas Priest that made that kid redecorate his palate with a bullet.

Their whole catalog makes me want to do that.

[explodo]

I seem to remember a fair amount of discussion about "Closer" from ye' olde NIN. Not that saying "I want to fuck you like an animal" is anything too crazy. I say that most people.

[cryptique]

What do you say to animals?

[NightOfJoy]

edit: the LP the song was on, Stained Class, is a REALLY heavy record. It also has one of my favorite JP tunes - "Beyond The Realms Of Death". What a great title for a song!

 

One of their best tunes and better records IHMO.

 

FYI, JP is playing all of British Steel in an upcoming Chicago show.

What do you say to animals?

Animals can't talk. You just nod and grunt or show off your feathers to get it on animal-style with actual animals.

[Moss]

Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?

 

---Black Sabbath---

[Gobias Industries]

If I remember this set caused quite a controversy:

 

Christ! You know it ain't easy' date='

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going,

They're going to crucify me.[/quote']

 

Lennon would probably dominate the list if enough time and effort was made to compile it.

[Degenerex]

and all the colored girls say "do do do do do do do do do do do do do do"

 

and all of "Only The God Die Young" at the time.

[dondoboy]

I'd say Animal Collective if I knew what the hell they were saying.

[HungryHippo]

Creation or a Stain by Joseph Arthur is pretty crazy. here's a link to it if anyone wants to check it out, think its best not to post it on here: Creation or a Stain lyrics

 

Joe's never performed this song live. after the first take in the studio, he started coughing up a lot of blood and thought that was a sign from God that he shouldn't play this song anymore. so the version you hear on Come to Where I'm From is the first and only take of Creation or a Stain. kinda cool, huh?

[GtrPlyr]

Probably not that well known a song, but:

 

Cocksucker Blues (Jagger/Richards)

 

Oh where can I get my cock sucked?

Where can I get my ass fucked?

I may have no money,

But I know where to put it every time

 

Well, I asked a young policeman

If he'd only lock me up for the night

Well, I've had pigs in the farmyard,

Some of them, some of them, they're alright

Well, he fucked me with his truncheon

And his helmet was way too tight

 

Oh where can I get my cock sucked?

Where can I get my ass fucked?

I ain't got no money,

But I know where to put it every time

 

I'm a lonesome schoolboy in your town

I'm a lonesome schoolboy

[The High Heat]

Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach"

 

Any and everything by The 2 Live Crew

[froggie]

This rings a bell from 1994

 

 

Folks, Id like to sing a song about the American Dream

About me, about you

About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests

About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts

Maybe below the cockles,

Maybe in the sub cockle area,

Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys,

Maybe even in the colon, we dont know

 

Im just a regular Joe, with a regular job

Im your average white, suburbanized slob

I like football and porno and books about war

I got an average house, with a nice hardwood floor

My wife and my job, my kids and my car

My feet on my table, and a Cuban cigar

 

But sometimes that just aint enough to keep a man like me interested

(oh no, no way, uh uh)

No I gotta go out and have fun at someone elses expense

(woah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)

I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane

While people behind me are going insane

 

Im an asshole (hes an asshole,what an asshole)

Im an asshole (hes an asshole, such an asshole)

 

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat

I walk around in the summer time saying "how about this heat?"

 

Im an asshole (hes an asshole,what an asshole)

Im an asshole (hes the worlds biggest asshole)

 

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces

While handicapped people make handicapped faces

 

Im an asshole (hes an asshole,what an asshole)

Im an asshole (hes a real fucking asshole)

 

Maybe I shouldnt be singing this song

Ranting and raving and carrying on

Maybe theyre right when they tell me Im wrong...

Nah

 

Im an asshole (hes an asshole,what an asshole)

Im an asshole (hes the worlds biggest asshole)

 

You know what Im gonna do

Im gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible

Hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps

And all leather cow interior

And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (yeah)

And Im gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour

Gettin' 1 mile per gallon,

Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds

In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers

And when Im done sucking down those greeseball burgers

Im gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag

And then Im gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side

And there aint a goddamn thing anybody can do about it

You know why, because weve got the bombs, thats why

2 words, nuclear fucking weapons, OK?

Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want

They can have a big democracy cakewalk

Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square

and it wont make a lick of difference

Because weve got the bombs, OK?

John Wayne's not dead, hes frozen, and as soon as we find a cure for cancer

Were gonna thaw out the duke and hes gonna be pretty pissed off

You know why,

Have you ever taken a cold shower, well multiply that by 15 million times

Thats how pissed off the dukes gonna be!

I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes,

and Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey,

and drive down to Texas and say.....

 

(Hey! You know, you really are an asshole!)

Why don't you just shut up and sing the song, pal?

Im an asshole (hes an asshole.what an asshole)

Im an asshole (hes the worlds biggest asshole)

 

A-S-S-H-O-L-E

Everybody

A-S-S-H-O-L-E

 

Im an asshole and Im proud of it

[tinnitus photography]

Almost any song by The Frogs.

[John Smith]

Springsteen Reno

[Lammycat]

and all of "Only The God Die Young" at the time.

Good one. I remember when this came out and was all over the radio. My mom used to cringe when it'd come on in the car and would always make us change the channel. All due to the "Catholic girls" reference, etc.

 

Also: the "Louie, Louie" mention is a great call. It was actually investigated by the FBI for obscenity and caused a huge stir when it was in regular rotation on the airwaves.

"Ain't No Top Forty Song"-Terry Allen

[Sir Stewart]

I almost forgot about the lines that launched the PMRC!

"I knew a girl named Nikki

I guess U could say she was a sex fiend

I met her in a hotel lobby

Masturbating with a magazine"

Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?

 

---Black Sabbath---

 

The song is actually a pro-God song:

 

After Forever

 

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?

Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave

Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?

Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

 

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?

Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?

Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways

And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

 

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say

If they knew you believe in God above?

They should realize before they criticize

that God is the only way to love.

 

Is your mind so small that you have to fall

In with the pack wherever they run

Will you still sneer when death is near

And say they may as well worship the sun.

 

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ

I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced

Will you be so sure when your day is near say you don't believe?

You had the chance but you turned it down now you can't retrieve.

 

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate.

Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes - I think it's too late.

[Mrs. Peel]

Off on a Prince tangent for a sec....I saw him on Tavis Smiley (or whatever that guy's name is) last night. Tavis brought up some lyrics from Prince's latest album and had printouts from the web. Prince said (paraphrasing) "now, where did you get those? Because I've heard some pretty mangled versions of my lyrics. Like from When Doves Cry, a girl was totally convinced that I was saying 'Dig if you will a picture, of you, Marvin Gaye, and the kids'."

[Analogman]

Take if you will a copy of The Watchtower, for you, Marvin Gaye, and the kids.

[you ever seen a ghost?]

i have you all beat:

 

all of Anal Cunt's catlogue, except for the one album where the songs are all flowers and love.
